My point, you may have missed, is you NEVER shut down an engine on fire below 1000 ft agl if it is producing thrust. No twice thinking, no time, just rule of life
Not wanting to get into this arguement,but I have just looked up the actual
published proceedure for dealing with an engine failure after V1 on Concorde
Maintain V2 or achieved speed on intial climb
Once the aircarft is established in intial climb and the gear is up
the F/E will repeat the failure call and identify the engine call. If I
remember corrrectly this would normally happen around 400ft agl
The flying pilot will call for the fire drill checklist and the memory items will be
commenced. [
this entailed shuting the engine down]
At 600 ft agl adjust pitch attitude to accelerate to V2 +40 before
commencing climb again
My reading of the report was that they had to reduce power on the two good engines to reduce bank.
If you look at the following flight recorder traces you will see that Nos 3 and 4 engines were operating at full power until the very last few seconds of the flight when the pilots sadly lost control the aircraft

I am sure none of us want to score points here, so hope this will help clarify things a bit
